Aizawl FC had several shots at the opposition goal in the second half but were thwarted by the visiting side. Alfred, Valpuia and Biaktea wasted their chances and the ‘Flaming Oranje’ from Goa kept on winning the midfield battle.

Following today’s win, Sporting jumped to the fifth spot at the league table with four points — from one win, one draw and one loss — while Aizawl are on sixth with three points from four matches.
